South Dakota Governor Kristi Norm has been rumored as the next Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The former frontrunner to be Donald Trump’s running mate is being reported by CNN based on “two people familiar with the selection.”
Until we hear it from Trump, it’s only a rumor.
Hearing Kristi Noem for DHS now.
I think some of these leaks are trial balloons to gauge reactions.
That seems like a very odd pick.

According to CNN:
Noem, who previously was a South Dakota representative, will now be tasked with overseeing a sprawling agency that oversees everything from US Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the US Secret Service.
Noem had once been on Trump’s shortlist for vice president, though her relationship with Trump shifted after the negative rollout surrounding the publication of her book: “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.” In it, she revealed that she once killed her 14-month-old wirehair pointer, Cricket, when she was not displaying the signs of an ideal hunting dog.
This does sound like an odd pick if it’s real.
